The development of customized applications for Microsoft Surface has grown to become one of our core businesses in 2009. With the end of the year now in sight, we’re beginning to see the results of some of our ongoing projects.

Over the past several months we have been working together with tisch13 and our client Constructa-Neff Vertriebs-GmbH, also known as “Neff”, in order to integrate Microsoft Surface in its POS and POI operations. The first product in this long-term partnership, an application titled “Neff Interactive”, was released in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, during the “Küchenmeile A30” event last month. Enhancing energy efficiency is one of Neff’s primary concerns. The goal of this first application is to increase customer awareness for the company’s energy-saving technologies.

“Neff Interactive” consists of a puzzle game and a series of themes that allow potential customers to interactively explore the technologies behind the company’s products. Our Twist Guide navigation technology (which was first demonstrated earlier this year at Audi’s centennial celebration event) is also featured in this application.

Check out the video below to see “Neff Interactive” in action and stay tuned to find out about other Microsoft Surface projects in the upcoming weeks.
